Lemon Dijon Chicken with Potatoes

Slow cooker lemon dijon chicken and potatoes is a minimal prep dinner with maximum flavor. Serve with a salad or steamed veggies for dinner in a flash.

This is definitely not the usual slow cooker fare. Or at least isn’t what comes to mind when people think of slow cooker meals. Tender chicken served with potatoes in a flavorful lemon-Dijon sauce accented with dried oregano adds a gourmet flair to the plain chicken and potato dinner.

Well I made this last night because it sounded great. I was REALLY disappointed. I wasted a bunch of chicken, threw the whole pot away and ordered pizza. Just everything went wrong. The chicken was completely dry and overdone, the potatoes were mushy and there was so much herb taste you couldn’t taste anything else. Bummed!
